CAD file draft #1
Notes: I want to make the left and right sides as thin as the bezel under the arrow cluster. I also want to make the middle and lower layers bigger!

SA Camping layout
Notes: I made this entire layout to fit SA Camping. The spacebars are 2.25u. I'll put the R3 Mountain novelty keys on them

So its similar to a LZ ergo with a numpad on the left? What are you making the plate out of?

It's more of a mad love child between Duck Jet Fire and LZ ErGO with a Southpaw HHKB mutation, buhahaha. Making the plate out of Aluminum but hopefully I can go for Brass if the budget allows for it. I'm trying to keep everything (case, plate, wiring, controller, switches, hydrodipping, and stabs) under $310. So far, my rough canvassing is under budget by $20!

Updated the layout drastically to let me design a better looking case. Thinking of getting some bits from the Model F! Case design to follow real soon. My semester just finished so I can get back to this  :D
